Editors in Session.

DENVER, September 13.-The third
annual session of the National Edi-
torial Association assembled at the
Chamber of Commerce this afternoon,
Hon. G. II. Jones, of Jacksonville,
Fla, presiding. He said it was the
hope of the officers that at this meeting
there should be present not less than
$50 editors representing every State in
the Union. They felt it was no
that such contamination was
not achieved, and in view of
all the difficulties and obstacles thrown
in the way, it was a matter for con-
graduation that so many were present,
for it showed there was vitality in the
idea and objects of the association that
so many had come from so many states
and such long distances to participate
in the proceedings. The following COM
mittee on credentials was then ap-
poited: Herbert, Minnesota; Maccabe.
Massachusetts, Rube, Wisconsin;
and White, Virginia. They shortly
afterwards brought in their report
showing an attendance of about 100
delegates from many States, which was
adopted.
Corresponding Secretary Paber, of
Colorado, then read his report to the
executive committee, which, at the re-
quest of such committee, was read TO
the convention and adopted.
Secretary Gilbert read report of the
COMMITTEES on bylaws and constitution
which, as amended, was adopted.
Late in the afternoon members of the
convention took part in public parade
on the occasion of the opening of the
Denver exposition, carriages being pro-
vided by the Chamber of Commerce. At
the evening session the president
delivered a most able address, which
resulted in a committee being appointed
to consider the question of a trade
journal, and a committee of nine to
consider the law of libel.
Secretary Paber then read poem,
after which A. J. Dafargue, in the
absence of Colonel Burke, delivered an
address on the New South"

have read your article ga Rattle
brain Lot" with pleasure and disgust.
With pleasure, for the bold and just
expose of set of religious scaYengers,
who wander from Dan to Beersheba,
gathering filth and lies, and sending
them abroad under the gaIb of piety
and religious bigotry. Disgust is No
name for the lying cheats who cover
themselves with the robes of Christian
ity. 1t is just such spirit which gov
ems these religious fanatics, thai led
the Scribes and Pharisees to murder the
Son of God, and if these Scribes and
Pharisees of the nineteenth century
had their way, they would murder
every man, woman and child that pro
fessed Mormonism. Do you wonder at
Bob Ingersoll resisting such inhuman
beings? The conduct of such men in
this direction is the cause of his de-
nunciation of the Christian system.
In reference to the insincerity of the
trainers of the Constitution for Utah as
State, you are aware that the writer
of this knows that the men who framed
the Constitution did 1t with the
solemn recognition of the duty of
the citizen to the government
and the laws of the United States.
There is one thing the pious knave5
and religious hucksters have forgotten.
If after the admission of Utah TO State
hood next December), the Mormons
should dare to faiter in their punish
ment of the guilty, farewell to all con-
fidence in whatever might be said by
the Latter-day Saints. l look upon the
admission of Utah to Statehood as the
very best method to test the loyalty of
the Latter-day Saints to the govern
ment and laws of the country. | know
the people will perform their obliga-
tons, and be faithful to their covenants
with the government.
As to the cess-pool organ, it is the
only filthy thing that has existed in
these mountains. 1t is the fountain of
filth. Had it not been for the lies and
hatred engendered by the foul thing,
thousands more than we now have OF
the honest Gentiles would have been in
our midst, enjoying the blessings OF |
our God blessed mountain home. The |
honest stranger and sojourner never
was at loss to find hospitality and
kind greetings from the Saints. Nor
would they until they become
hostile to our rights as Ameri-

motley crew of the cess-pool fears
IS that the Mormons will have the

The Sharp Case

NEW YORK, September 13.-The ex-
traordinary session of the general term
of the supreme court called to hear the
argument upon Jacob Sharp's appeal
from his conviction for bribery, assem-
bled this morning in a crowded court
room. Judge VanBrunt presided,
fanked on either side by Judges
Daniels, Brady and Bartlett. The pro-
ceedings were opened by Mr.. Stickney
asking if the court would insist that the
argument should be concluded to-day.
Judge VanBrunt, having conferred with
his colleagues, announced that the
court would sit until $50 o'clock, allow
ing six hours for the argument, which
divided up evenly between counsel, was
considered sufficient. Colonel Burke
Cochrane then began an argument on
behalf of Sharp.

In the Whole Hideous Catalogue

of diseases, there were none which,
previous to the discovery of Hostetter s
Stomach Bitters, offered more formi-
dable resistance to the old-fashioned
modes Of treatment than the group of
maladies which, under the collective
name of malarial disease. afflicted en-
tire communities hopelessly. Chills
and fever, dumb ague. ague, cake
and bilious remittent were once re-
gsrded as well nigh incurable. Now, it
rejoices the hearts of thousands who
reside in districts periodically subject
to the visitation of malaria, to feel
certain that in the Bitters they possess
a certain defense against the scourge, a
sure means of expelling the poison from
the system. To the settler in the far
west, the new emigrant thither, and to
travellers and tourists by land and sea,
the possession of this pleasant safe
guard is guaranty of safety from di-
seases which they might vainly seek
from any other source.

In the Commons.

LONDON, September BIN the Com
mons this evening, John Phillip
Nolan, Home Ruler. asked if it was true
that William O'Brien was confined in a
cell nine by four feet, and if Balfour,
Chief Secretary for Ireland, meant to
order reasonable accommodations for
the prisoner
BaIfour had no knowledge respecting
the nature of the cell occupied by
O'Brien. OF course it was his desire
that O'Brien be confined in comfort
able cell, and the prison rules provide
that untried prisoners should have
reasonable accommodation.
Nolan hoped that government would
relax the prison rules applicable to
political offenders in ireland, and es-
pecially urge a modification of the de-
grading duties enforced on common
criminals.
Balfour was unable to see the offenses
of persons arrested under the crimes
act differed from offenses under the
ordinary law. All the prisoners should
be treated alike. Regarding prison dis
cipline, he was unable TO conceive how
the Irish members could make any diff
ference between the prison treatment OF
persons under arrest for luclting people
to crime and outrage, and that given
those der arrest for committing
crimes and outrages.
John Morley said the action of the
Irish mem bers was due to the nature Of
the law forced on the people of their
country. He urged government to re-
consider their refusal and grant an
inquiry into the conduct OF the police
at Mitchelstown.
Parnel said government tried to
strike terror into the b arts of their
opponents by treating political prisoners
like criminals of the basest type.
Parnell said government reporters
we're never molested at meetings in
Ireland. The police acted like towards
and we're part of the system which was
q reign of terror within the prison and
murder without. Instead of conceidlng
Ireland's right to manage her own
affairs, government had taken her by
the throat and was trying to strangle her.
In conclusion, Parnell said he wished
Bslfour well out of his job. My only
fear is, added the Irish leader, lest
some men become so exasperated as to
commit wild acts of revenge. l will
continue, however, to urge my country
men TO be patient in the endurance of
wrong and suffering until they get home

The Lutherana.

GREENvILLE, Pa, September 13.-The
Lutheran Council voted TO prepare an
edition of the liturgy OF the church ser
vice apart from the full church book in
order that it might be introduced in
congregations, especially German,
which are not yet prepared to receive
the entire book. DR.. W A. Passavant
reported on the Chicago seminary, that
as he, with others, had been appointed
to make preparatory arrangements
towards opening the seminary, partly
owing to the attitude assumed by the
Augustana synod, and partly owing to
sickness proper persons had not been
found to act as trustees of the proposed
enterprise, and work has not been
prosecuted. 1t was decided to hold the
next convention of the council in Min

counsel for Ives g. Co, to strike out the

as a substitute for the much-talked-of
Glenn bill, one providing that after the
passage of the act no educational
institution receiving support from

lishments where the mixing of the

any institution supported by the State.
